Goblins Minesweepers - Round 2 (Recr. closed, game started)

Post by LooksAndSmiles » Sun Jun 02, 2013 6:06 am

EDIT: Check the game thread here: http://www.goblinsforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=505

It is time to open the recruitment for the Minesweepers game, round 2!

If you are unfamiliar with the game, play some minesweepers on your computer! This game is very similar, but a bit "enhanced" for more fun.

You can check out the training round here, and the first round here.
You can bore yourself with the rules description here. You don't necessarily have to know all the rules to play, the others and I will help you out. It is advised to check out the previous rounds, though, so you get a good feeling how the game is flowing generally.

How to apply?
- Post your character name, and the color it will take. If it's a color already taken, please think up some personal quirk to make you more distinguishable. (Keep it simple as you won't likely get a third hand, a horde of zombie minions or a great shiny IME...)
- You may opionally post a background story, I like reading those.
- Vote for the map you wish to play.

- If you have played already, just state that you are joining again, and vote for a map.

VOTING TIME FOR NEW MAP!

1) A New Adventure
Style: ???
Tiles: ???
Mine Layout: ???
Traps: ???
Monsters: ???

This adventure is available thanks to the old map part the players have found in Round 1. They won't know anything about it until they start, but hey, adventures are always like so!

2) Trying Angles
Style: Basic
Tiles: Triangle Grid
Mine Layout: Random (it is possible that safe areas are separated by mines)
Traps: No
Monsters: No

3) Rooftop Rumble
Style: Cityscape / Rooftops
Tiles: Rectangular Grid, Dispersed (Loosely interconnected areas instead of one array of tiles)
Mine Layout: Labyrinth
Traps: Yes
Monsters: Yes

4) Flipping Out
Style: Basic
Tiles: Rectangular Grid, with walls between them
Mine Layout: Random
Traps: Hell Yes
Monsters: No

I'd like to try this, if you'll have me.

Name: Oops

Colour: #BF8000

When Oops was born, the teller dropped her during the naming ceremony. The teller said "Oops," and thus Oops was named. When she was dropped though she was dropped on her ear and as a consequence, Oops' right ear is permanently bent at a sharp angle.

No-Legs returns, eager for the next adventure! Unless the blue token is especially tempting, she upgrades her Jump and takes Answer, equipping it. She also buys a guitar and an extra quiver of arrows.

I'd like to sign up Stumbles for this.

BUT I think I ought to let you know that I am going on a vacation trip today, and I will be returning on next Saturday, 15th of June. I will have Internet access and I will try to post in time for every update, but if you think that this will not work out because it would be unfair to other players, who are ready and present and eager to post each update on time, then please refrain from adding me to the list of players.

I'm not sure if Stumbles needs any more equip, I might edit in something later.


Vote: 1, 3 (I really like the labyrinth outlay)

Replying here:

- So far the 1st adventure is dominating, that will take a bit of time to prepare. I got back from a trip just a day ago, and have to organize stuff first, which means it will likely start only after next week, so Stumbles won't miss out on anything. Maybe other people will also join in the meantime. :) I'll update the almanac too once I get to do it.

- No Legs, your skill tokens for choice on level up:
a) a blue token with a figure fading onto a tile, b) a green token with a hasty leg c) a red token with an item breaking d) an answer the call token.
I was in haste when I left so I forgot to ask whether you'd wanted to get two spelunky skills instead of the 4 different families, so I'm willing to roll for one in place of another if you wish so.

Okay, joining has been up for almost 2 weeks now, and not many new people joining lately so I'm closing it.

The end result of your votes is: 1) A New Adventure!

You don't have to buy the equipment right now, I'll make an introductory post on about Sunday where this map will begin! You may then choose to buy appropiate stuff.

People who have NOT participated yet, I'm giving you a small boost so you can catch up with the others: You will recieve double XP until you reach level 1!

Nerre, as we discussed in pm, since I unfortunately lost your character data, I can only reset the coins you got. You will get them when the aforementioned post is made.

No Legs, feel free to select tokens before we forget them entirely. :)

Would you all please vote for the new mission in the actual game thread? I'm planning to close this one as there is no longer recruiting phase (even though i failed to change the title yet.).

I'll link all threads and updates appropiately so don't mind spamming that thread. (I think I did it well in the past two games).
